But there is another reason why this move is of interest for the Cowboys and that is due to their elite defensive tackle, Quinnen Williams. Williams and Carter are two of the very best defensive tackles in the league, but their salaries are very different (right now). Quinnen Williams' contract is a bargain compared to what the Eagles are paying Jalen CarterThe Cowboys have Williams under contract for the next two seasons, and he is set to make $47.1 million, according to OverTheCap.com. That means the Cowboys have Williams under contract for just $23.5 million per season, which makes him around the 11th highest-paid defensive tackle in the league. There is plenty of time for contract discussions and for how the Cowboys might handle his new contract moving forward.
